Hello!

Hello world. I am new to couponing. I started last week of May when I saw a video feature of the website Coupon Mom on one of our local channel. In the feature they went to a grocery and got $100+ worth of items for pennies, well a quarter to be exact. If she can do it then why can't I! I've always been aware of coupons when a Filipino mom introduced me to them but I just never saw how big the potential could be. Oh, I'd use coupons here and there but I was lazy to organize my coupons.

It was only when I saw the feature that I had an "a-ha" moment. I wasn't aware that there are multiple blogs out there listing out the sales per store, I was always searching for deals but never stumbled on such blogs. I realized that I was using the wrong search words when I did use the correct words, it gave me numerous blogs to subscribe to. So subscribe I did. The next thing I did was subscribe to our local newspaper, I could buy them every sunday but I rather like the convenience of waking up and just getting the newspaper ready to be demolished by me of course and the little one who always manage to sneak up on me and tear some of the ads. Now, it has become part of my daily routine to read thrifty blogs and visualize deals I can do. To date, I have save 100++ on my purchases and it's amazing how many items you can get for pennies or best, FREE!

I'm still learning the ropes and still have a lot to learn. I however realized that there are coupons everywhere I have just not been paying attention to them, you can find them in magazines, boxes, sites that you can subscribe to, auction sites like ebay, grocery stores and even at the doctor's office (I got $12 worth of Enfamil coupons there because some kind soul left it for others to use them).
